Abstract

Methane plasma immersion ion implantation into silicon was used for the synthesis of silicon carbide films. The molecular ions were found to dissociate upon entry into the sample surface. The films underwent a transformation from hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide to β-SiC with increasing annealing temperature.
